worst printer...ink lasts a week..cant print pics

Terrible printer...dont buy! Not good for pics and runs out of ink fast!! Ink is expensive. I printed 20pages mostly black ink docs and ran out of ink. Lines appear and streaks. Not worth $200.bad print quality.

Great all in one printer for the price. Print quality is very good and other features are great. We did go through the first set of ink cartridges pretty quickly. Unfortunately I didn't really keep track of how many pages I printed. Ink prices are comparable to other brands. I think I will try the XL cartridges next with the larger ink capacity to see how much longer they last.

Best for the price.

What's great about it: Wireless, DVD/CD, document, photo, fax, scan/copy all in one

What's not so great: Wish the paper tray is little bigger/hold more paper

I was looking for a cheap printer to print DVD/CD since my R800 quit on me. I placed the order online but then stop by the local store to pick it up. It turned out to be an "All in one" which can print DVD/CD, fax, scan/copy, print document and photo. It can either be used as a network printer via direct connect with network cable or wireless or connect directly to a PC system via usb. It does do back to back print. It also has storage capacity for usb, CF, SD and MS duo. I wish the card readers could fit the cards in and close the cover/door while holding the cards.

What's great about it: It seemed to be a good printer. setup was fairly easy. nice features

What's not so great: it broke after only 2 pages. long time to start printing. very noisy. top is made out of flimsy plastic.

I purchased this printer based largely on Consumer Reports opinion.I printed 2 pages at different times, then it had a nervous breakdown and froze up.Didn't buy geek squad protection so I had to deal with Epson. They were very rude and acted like I was trying to steal from them.I received a REFURBISHED PRINTER that was scratched up. I am afraid to even leave it plugged in even though I am powering it through a UPS.Overall, based on this experience, I HIGHLY doubt that I will waste any of my money on Epson products.Granted this may not be a fair assessment of the printer. I may have just gotten one with issues, But given the way Epson customer service treated me, I am greatly disappointed.I read good reviews before I bought mine, But this is not one of them.

What's great about it: It is easy to setup and the photographs are colorful and very clear.

What's not so great: The scanner is not as user friendly as it should be.

I have only used this printer for about a month now but it is fantastic! I no longer have to send my pictures to Shutterfly or any place else to be printed as this printer does a great job! I created many items (coasters, pictures, trivets, etc) using photos printed from this printer and everyone I gave the items to, thought they were professionally printed! I am the least tech savvy person I know, and I was able to set it up myself and have not had any issues with it at all. Now I can print from my iPad without any need to turn on my computer! It's so easy to use!

After reading about the printer in consumers reports I was informed that the printer was discontinued. Luckily Best Buy had it in stock and at a good price. Ordered it and it came in promptly. Set up with no problem and did everything it was supposed to do. I'm pleased . However Ink costs are high.

Hardware failure within 8 months

What's not so great: Expensive, uses ink quickly, hardware failure with little use

Loved this printer while it was working though I used it more for scanning than printing. Ironically it started having problems after I invested in a lot of ink because I was off work and finally had time to print some pictures and holiday cards. As if it knew I was out of work and needed to print my resume, the black ink started failing and/or the printer would reject brand new black cartridges and randomly the colored ones. After a frustrating and drawn out call to Epson they sent replacement ink cartridges and the problems continued to happen and escalate. Epson suggests that you have used non-epson ink (not the case). While waiting for the replacement cartridge I had to print my resume and purchased a black cartridge that was promptly rejected by the printer. The one Epson sent worked only after cleaning the print heads and I had to clean them every time or the - Epson troubleshooting suggests repeated cleaning of the print heads to correct the lines I continued to have in black text printing - but beware, these cleanings chew through all of the ink cartridges very quickly (there went all the cartridges I had just invested in and I am now out some $100). After a second frustrating trouble-shooting call to Epson they are satisfied it is a hardware failure and are sending a new printer (I hope new but could be refurbished, didn't ask). I was told I would have to call back to request replacement ink which has to be approved first by someone at Epson. Very frustrating given the minimal use this printer has had since I purchased it and how much I spent on ink trying to run the troubleshooting and worse yet it quit when I am in the middle of a job search. I was not satisfied with my prior HP printer but at least I had it years before it started doing quirky things.

Failed Twice - Do not buy this printer

What's not so great: Failed to print, Bestbuy does not stand by the products.

After 1 month of printing, the black ink jet failed. After spending a fortune on new ink cartridges trying to fix it, I returned the printer to BestBuy. They replaced it with a new one. After 4 months of printing, the black ink failed on this new printer. I tried to clean the printing heads using the printer options and as suggested, but it did not fix the problem. I tried to return it to BestBuy and they told me I was beyond my return date (and would not replace it). So, not only is the printer a horrible printer, BestBuy is selling horrible printers and not standing behind them (wanted to just sell their service contract).

Seems to work well for photos and for copying. We have several skill levels of users here and it works well for all of us. I was looking for an all-in-one with duplex printing and high quality photo quality and the printer seems to fit the bill.

I have owned many printers, various brands. I love Epson because they perform very well for me. They seldom jam, and this one is the best yet. Prints double sided with no problem and photos are excellent quality. I did have to try a couple different brands of photo paper for the best results. (Settled on Kodak paper). Crisp, sharp images. This printer is much smaller than my Artisan 837. Love it!
